We build on prior research examining military involvement and criminal involvement by investigating the importance of acquiring the more complete "respectability package" that includes marriage as well as military experience and variations among White and Black respondents. Using data from Waves I and IV of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health; = 5,801), analyses use logistic regression models to assess associations of military service, marriage, and race with odds of reoffending among White and Black young adults who reported offending at Wave I. Military involvement was associated with lower odds of offending for Black respondents only, while marriage was associated with decreased odds of reoffending across both groups. Among Black respondents, analyses also highlighted the importance of acquiring both components of the respectability package (military service and marriage) in the context of today's all-volunteer force in reducing criminal involvement.
我们在先前关于军事参与和犯罪参与的研究基础上，通过调查获得更完整的“体面要素组合”（包括婚姻、军事经历）的重要性以及白人和黑人受访者之间的差异来展开研究。利用青少年到成人健康全国纵向研究（Add Health；n = 5801）第一波和第四波的数据，分析采用逻辑回归模型来评估军事服役、婚姻和种族与在第一波报告有犯罪行为的白人和黑人青年成年人再次犯罪几率之间的关联。军事参与仅与黑人受访者较低的犯罪几率相关，而婚姻与两组中再次犯罪几率的降低相关。在黑人受访者中，分析还凸显了在当今全志愿兵役制背景下，获得体面要素组合的两个组成部分（军事服役和婚姻）对于减少犯罪参与的重要性。
